Let he who is without a Y chromosome cast the first stone . . . Today's Morning Joe afforded viewers a study in hypocrisy: the all-male makeup of a panel at yesterday's House hearing on contraception was bashed by the show's panel consisting entirely of, yes, men.
With Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough having the day off, Willie Geist and Mike Barnicle took guest-hosting turns. Barnicle introduced the subject, harrumphing about the "absurd picture we just saw of, it basically looks like an all-male locker room at a golf club." Lawrence O'Donnell and Dem congressman Elijah Cummings joined in the breast-beating.

The country would be better off if everybody on MsNBC used contraception.

Contraception is as big a male issue as it is a female one.

All right, first, this was not a "contraception panel," it was a panel to discuss the First Amendment protections against state intrusion into religious matters. Second, the whole contraception issue is a strawman erected by the Democrat smear machine (a.k.a. the MSM) so they can bash Republicans as "wanting to eliminate all access to contraceptives."
The Press has been working this issue in concert with the Democrat Party--because they don't want the economy to be the issue in this next election.
Third--whose the man in that picture? All I see is a bunch of Northeaster liberal metro-sexuals. There's not enough testosterone in that picture to make a good adolescent.
